LARGE-FORMAT SHEETFED PRESSES -- Printing to Perfection

CIM Takes Hold

CIM already is becoming a competitive issue, MAN Roland's Cerfontaine asserts. "Older presses can't communicate with each other or with the overall workflow. This disconnect puts them out of touch with the productivity enhancement links to prepress, postpress and a plant's MIS system," he says. "As markets get more competitive, having old presses becomes a liability."
